Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Seroquel is composed of 'quetiapine', which is an antipsychotic medicine. Common Seroquel side effects may include: trouble with movement, dizziness, weakness, increased appetite, weight gain, sore throat, dry mouth and gastrointestinal related symptoms like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain & constipation. However, you need to consult doctor and report any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, impulsiveness, irritable, agitation, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting oneself. Kindly consult Neurologist promptly for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
